On October 9, WAKO Co., Ltd. announced "Kazu Yoneda and Aya Yoneda Ceramics Exhibition: Collecting, Playing, Enjoying." It is the third two-person exhibition by the mother, Kazu, and daughter, Aya, both ceramic artists living in Ishikawa Prefecture. It will be held from November 6 to 15 at Seiko House Hall in Ginza.
Vessels and tea boxes painted with flowers and birds, ceramics for the home
Kazu is a ceramic artist who paints flowers and birds on vessels shaped on the wheel. She creates works that pair the surface of white-glazed vessels with free-flowing brushwork. This time she will present tea boxes, hanging flower vases, tall cylindrical bottles, small jars, everyday vessels and also "bottle lids."
The featured "Tall Cylindrical Bottle with Black-Drawn Bird-and-Flower Design" is 9–10 cm in diameter and 41–42.5 cm high. The "Colored-Glaze Small Jar" is 4.5–6 cm in diameter and 6–10 cm high, ranging from small pieces to admire in the hand to tall flower vases. The tea box measures 14 cm wide x 14 cm deep x 13 cm high.
Small ceramic boxes born from collected specimens
Aya makes "specimen boxes" based on specimens she has actually collected and made herself. Works featuring little girls and vessels will also be on display. The exhibition expresses the time spent gazing at collected things through the medium of ceramics.
The specimen box "Forest" measures 4.5 cm wide x 6 cm deep x 6 cm high. The "Oval Enameled Plate with Horns" is 15 cm wide x 10 cm deep x 3 cm high, and "Collecting Horizons" is 16 cm wide x 20 cm deep x 2.5 cm high. At the same venue, you can see the differences in form and painting between the two artists.
Some of Aya's works will be displayed during the exhibition and handed over after it ends. Admission is free, but entry may be restricted when it is crowded. Hours are normally until 19:00, and until 17:00 on the final day, the 15th.
